"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Looking for a Lloyd Carr quote

It was about winning and how fans no longer are satisfied with winning a close/hard fought game -- they want to embarrass the other team. Or something to that effect. Anyone? My Google skills didnt come up with anything.

I'm drawing a blank here for Lloyd saying that. But most coaches started talking about the never satisfied expectations of fans in the 90's, even when it comes to margin of victory.

I remember a fluff piece ESPN did the year after Danny Wuerffel graduated from Florida stating how sad Gator fans were that they were only winning games by scores of 20-10 or 21-6 instead of 62-7 and 58-6. I was only a teenager but I remember thinking what a load of crap this was to even be considered newsworthy.

Just win, baby.

when we were up on OSU by two touchdowns going into halftime, michigan decided to kill clock with two timeouts in their pocket, instead of tacking on more. the sideline reporter asked lloyd why we didn't try to get more on the board given the timeout situation. lloyd responded, "why would you ask a dumb question like that?" and walked away.

"This is the EMU game, not the emo game."

Not sure if Lloyd ever said anything specifically along those lines, but he did say this and for some reason, I recall it:

“Dealing with success is more agreeable than dealing with losing, ... but it's no less difficult. Now we have to deal with all these people patting us on the back. But it's not wise to listen to that because it might distract you from what you need to get done.”
